Our read on Valley View Care Center

Valley View Care Center runs 139 beds in Grand Rapids under corporate ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national figure, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the hours your family member gets depend partly on which day it is. Staff turnover of 43.5% is slightly better than average, which helps. The trouble is the inspection record: 48 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $57,896. A health inspection rating of 1 out of 5 against decent quality and staffing scores is the tension worth asking about directly.
